Social media, censorship, politics: the NY Post, Biden's laptop, and the right path forward

Should social media censor free speech?

Something fairly unprecedented happened this past week: Facebook and Twitter both blocked a NY Post story.

Now … whatever you think about that story (and I think it’s pretty flimsy) blocking it almost immediately is pretty shocking. How should social media deal with controversial subjects … or false information?

In this episode of TechFirst with John Koetsier we chat with Bill Ottman, founder and CEO of the open source social network Minds.com, about what big tech and big social should do, about algorithms, shadow banning, free speech, virality, and what Ottman is doing with Minds.com to fix it.
